I am using SAS on VMware ( SAS on virtual Machine) , I have the same issue when I use SAS onDemand.
I followed the guide line in setting up SAS on VMware using the below link
I configured the shared folder option
I have no issue in working with datalines but when I try to import data using proc import ,
( data which is already stored in the working directory.)
Here is the code I used
proc import datafile='/folders/myfolders/Logging.csv'
DBMS=csv out=Logging.csv replace;
run;
proc print data=Logging.csv;
run;
Here is the three errors I am getting , though I was able to solve the first one.
first error: Libref 'LoggingData' exceeds 8 characters , I resolved the issue by renaming my file name under 8 characters to Logging
Second error : Library name is not assigned
Third error : Libref LOGGING (mydataname) is not assigned
Effort :
I spent literally 6 hours looking for answer from YouTube to SAS blogs and SAS community support ,
I came across very similar stuff , but nothing seems clear and concise
I tried to use the below command ( custom library as the WORK lib doesnt seem to work) for every proc command but it is not working either
%let dirdata=C:\SASUniverstyEdition\myfolders;
libname SASLIBS "&dirdata";
run;
libname SASLIBS '/folders/myfolders/sasuser.v94';
options user=SASLIBS;
run;
I also tried to edit the autoexec.sas code
my question is
how can I get past these two annoying errors
why would I need to assign library if SAS already has a default one , WORK
How can I assign my library globally never to be asked again
Please show with examples , as most of help threads are not straight forward
I really need help , I have a lot to work on my project but I am stuck in reading the data.Thanks in advance.
proc import datafile='/folders/myfolders/Logging.csv'
DBMS=csv out=Logging replace;
run;
proc print data=Logging;
run;
